Why Rental Companies Earn More with Vrooem

For many Belgian car rental businesses, staying profitable today is a challenge. Major international platforms like Rentalcars, Kayak, or even Booking charge high commissions and make direct customer contact nearly impossible. Building and promoting your own website is expensive, time-consuming, and often ineffective without a strong marketing budget.

Fortunately, there’s an alternative that works for local rental businesses: Vrooem.com.

In this blog, you'll discover why more and more rental companies are choosing Vrooem — and how they’re earning more without doing more.

1. Lower Commissions = More Profit Per Booking

Many large platforms charge 20–30% commission on each reservation. That means you lose up to a third of your income — even from customers you could’ve found yourself.

At Vrooem, we deliberately use low commission rates. No fixed costs, no hidden fees. You keep more of what you earn.

2. Direct Contact with Your Customer

With Vrooem, you receive the renter’s contact details and can communicate directly — before, during, and after the booking. That brings several advantages:

  • Build strong customer relationships

  • Increase repeat bookings

  • Offer upsells (e.g., GPS, child seats, insurance)

Other platforms keep you and your customers apart. With Vrooem, you remain in charge.

3. No Monthly Fees

Many systems charge monthly subscriptions or software licenses. Whether you get bookings or not, you still pay.

Vrooem is entirely results-based:

  • No subscription

  • No setup fees

  • Only pay commission when you receive a confirmed booking

No booking = no cost.

4. More Visibility Without Advertising Costs

Building a website is one thing. Getting people to visit it is another. Advertising on Google or social media is costly and time-intensive.

Vrooem continuously invests in:

  • SEO (search engine optimization)

  • Blog content

  • Social media campaigns

  • Online ads targeting renters in Belgium

Your vehicles are automatically featured on all these channels — without you having to spend a cent.

5. Fair Competition for Small Rental Companies

On traditional comparison sites, the biggest providers always win with low prices and huge budgets. Vrooem is designed to support fair competition:

  • Set your own terms and prices

  • Showcase your unique service and offering

  • Compete on more than just price — stand out with quality

Thanks to our platform, small rental providers get a real chance to grow.

What Does Vrooem Offer You?

By partnering with Vrooem, you get:

  • More bookings through our network and marketing

  • Higher profit margins thanks to low commissions

  • Better customer loyalty through direct communication

  • Full control over your listings and availability

In short: more revenue, less hassle.

Success Story: Local Player, Big Growth

A small rental company from West Flanders with 3 vehicles joined Vrooem. Within two months, they had 15 bookings — 9 of them coming through Google traffic they would’ve never reached on their own.

Since then, their fleet has grown to 7 vehicles — and they keep attracting new customers every month without an advertising budget.
